So I'm a little bit late with this month's review - I got the box right in the middle of a show week and then went up to Coventry so I've struggled to find the time to sit down and write about the products I received this month! This month's box is inspired by "Summer Daze" hence the gorgeous sunset and palm tree design - and this month every subscriber got an extra product! In this box I got a Benefit Cosmetics Cha Cha Tint, the Flash Cleanse Micellar Water from Balance Me, the Percy & Reed Perfectly Perfecting Wonder Overnight Recovery, an Anatomicals Softening Eucalyptus Foot Cream, a Whish Renewing Mud Mask and a sample of Lipsy London's Glam Perfume!
Benefit Cha Cha Tint
I was so excited to see another Benefit product in my box, until I saw it was a lip and cheek stain. I absolutely loath the things. I don't mind them on the lips, but only if they're not dry because it just looks awful and I just think they're rubbish for cheeks - they don't blend out properly so you just get patches of colour rather than a seamless flush like you would with a normal blush. I've yet to find a product that proves me wrong, and to be honest this wasn't any different. I did really like the colour of this though, so I have used it on my lips a couple of times.
Balance Me Flash Cleanse Micellar Water
I've never used a micellar water before so I was quite looking forward to trying this particular product. It left my skin feeling really refreshed, but I have to say I don't think it did a great job of removing my make up - I don't use particularly heavy make up in the summer so really it should have been easy enough to remove. It's also a shame you can't use this to remove eye make-up, so it meant adding an extra step to my skincare routine. However, I think I'd use this in the mornings when I want a bit of a boost for my skin and to make sure I have a clean base for when I put my make up on!
Percy & Reed Perfectly Perfecting Wonder Overnight Recovery
You know me, anything that claims it can battle frizz and I'm all over it! I think I've used a volumising mousse from Percy & Reed before but I don't remember being all that impressed by it, so I was interested in seeing how this product held up. It's quite handy how quickly it dries, meaning you don't have to worry about protecting your pillowcases. My hair definitely felt much softer and less dry after I'd washed it out but the frizz was still there unfortunately! It's definitely something I'd use for when my hair is a little bit dryer than usual but the hunt continues for something that really stops the frizz!
Anatomicals Softening Eucalyptus Foot Cream
This product is an absolute God-send for people like me who spend all day on their feet at work and as a result get really horrible dry heels! I forgot to take this with me when I went to Coventry and honestly I really felt the difference after not using it for three days! I'm definitely getting a full-size tube once this one runs out because my feet have never been so smooth!
Whish Renewing Mud Mask
I was a little bit skeptical of this mask, purely for the fact it advises you to patch test it first and only leave it on for two minutes, which is either not enough time for it to do any good or makes me question exactly what is in it! It's an exfoliating mask and although it did leave my skin feeling quite smooth after I'd used it, it's not really something I'd go back to since I already exfoliate with a cleanser once or twice a week.
Lipsy London Glam Fragrance
So this is quite a sweet floral fragrance, which is right up my street! It's quite light as well and not too strong so it's been perfect for an everyday perfume!
